Statistics Canada says the country's trade deficit in April hit seven billion dollars, which is an all-time high. And exports have fallen for three consecutive months, with our exports specifically to the United States having fallen at this point 26 percent in 2025. The federal and provincial governments have announced today that they're matching all

Red Cross donations to those affected by wildfires burning in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Dozens of out-of-control wildfires have forced more than 30,000 people from their homes across both provinces. And while the fires burn, emergency officials and evacuees alike are eager to get a sense of the scale of the damage done so far. Cameron McIntosh reports from Prince Albert.

The Israeli military has recovered the bodies of Canadian Judy Weinstein Hagge and her husband Gadi. The couple was among the victims of the Hamas attacks of October 7th, and their remains were secured last night in Gaza following a special operation carried out by the IDF. Crystal Gamancing has more now from Jerusalem. The recovery and return of the remains of Gad Hagagi and Judy Weinstein Hagi breaking across Israel. Members of their kibbutz near Oz near the border with Gaza shared a heartfelt statement remembering Judy as a poet, a creative spirit, and a woman deeply committed to peace and coexistence.

US President Donald Trump is bringing back a controversial immigration policy from his first term.

Like before, it's a travel ban, but this time it's aimed at citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, and Yemen. We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe. Trump is linking the new ban to Sunday's terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, saying it underscores the dangers posed by those who overstay their visas. The suspect in that attack, however, is from Egypt, a country not on Trump's restricted

list. The Edmonton Oilers have taken game one of the Stanley Cup final. Last night in Edmonton, the Oilers beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 in overtime. Edmonton forward Leon Dreisaitl scored the game winner and says while it's great to be the hero, there's still work to do. Yeah, it's a special feeling. It's great for right now, but we've got to look ahead and get ready for game two. Game two is set for tomorrow night, again in Edmonton.

And that is The World This Hour. I'm Joe Cummings.
